Critics Consensus

A dramedy featuring an unusual love triangle, Keeping the Faith is a perceptive look at how religion affects us in everyday life.

The film's distinction: it is neither dumb or vulgar, and its comedy comes from basic human emotions.

It's light and affable, for the most part; it has a relatively novel premise, even if it's not really explored in depth; and it features three charming leads at a strong point in their careers.

Norton quickly finds the right note of relaxed sweetness, gentle humor, and swooningly earnest romance.

Rated: 3.5/4

Entrentenida. Linda historia de amor. Si bien es cliché el orden en el que suceden las cosas, el planteo de inicio (rabino/cura) es distinto a otras pelis de misma característica.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Why don't we have actors of this caliber anymore? Imperceptibly, I found myself mentally and emotionally invested in all the talking points because of their natural interactions. It was fun / it was pensive.
